Congratulations! Do you mind sharing your stats? 🙂
Going to hope that I'm waitlisted. They're probably through the acceptance calls by now.

I know someone who got their rejection at around 6 pm last year, so I guess we will see...
I got a phone call today from kasie too. Got accepted!
Congrats! What time was your call?
Thank you. It was in the morning at 10 something.

My stats
Degree: Kinesiology and minor in Health Education
prereq GPA: 3.65
last 60/90 units GPA: 3.94
400+ hours of outpatient PT at 3 different places
105 hours of inpatient PT at 2 hospital
1 professor LORs
2 PT LORs
From seeing previous posts, yes essays will set you apart. I believe my essays helped me get into the program. I also went to info sessions and met with Kasie to learn more about the program which helped me explain why I wanted to attend SMU.

Yes 5:57 pm to be exact
Okay. I'm just asking because I'm an OOS applicant and I'm Central Time. So 8 PM where I live.

Do you think they would split acceptance call days? Or would it just be today
I'd imagine split the call days. To call tens of people in a day is a lot imo.

I'd imagine the opposite. But if it's only Kasie doing it, I am not sure?
If they start in the morning, should be done by late afternoon.
I am guessing they will be sending out waitlists and rejections tomorrow if they are not splitting acceptance calls. I believe it is just Kasie that is making the calls..?
Still hoping for waitlist...! Good luck tomorrow everyone and congrats again to everyone that was accepted today!!

Have anyone received a email for rejection or waitlist? If not I believe they will continue calling tomorrow morning.
I really hope you're right! I will be sure to update if I receive anything tomorrow.
To those who have not received a call from Kasie, it is possible that she is still in the middle of the admissions process and will be contacting students throughout the week so don't lose faith just yet. I hope you guys get your acceptance calls soon!
As for those who were fortunate enough to receive their acceptance calls today, congratulations! Feel free to message me so I can invite you all to the Facebook group that was created for our 2023 cohort. It will serve as a way to communicate with our possible future classmates 🙂 cheers!

I believe the 2020 class is 50 students + another 70ish students for the wait list?

Maybe they’re doing waitlist and rejections through snail mail this year which is why we haven’t heard?

I realized you got the email saying they moved your application to the next phase of admission. I'm pretty sure you got accepted or atleast waitlisted, like everyone else who got that email. Good Luck 🙂
Thank you! 🙂

I want to say hearing nothing is a little better than receiving a solid "no"? For me at least, it gives me some hope.
Everyone try not to stress (impossible) too much, the holidays are near, enjoy it with your families and loved ones!

I hope for an update on status. Just want to know if it's a rejection or waitlist at this point haha

I believe Kaise is probably putting together the waitlist or rejection list and will be sending out emails. By now she would have called. Just to let you guys know it is a tough journey, and we are all feeling this, anxious, negativity, frustration. But know that we tried our best, we are determined and we are strong!. Keep going and don't let anyone discourage you. Live your truth, follow your dream and don't ever stop!.
I wish you all happy holiday and success in life.
